Choose Your Prize with Mentos #ChooseFresh Promo

 

It's everybody's and my favorite Mentos on today's article, we're bring you great news as they launch their very first promo, but you'll be the boss and choose what prize you want! Sounds crazy? But it is true. 

I personally love the different fruity flavors of Mentos but have also grown to like the AIR Action and Spearmint flavors too. It kinda falls on what mood I'm on in different days and yes, I'm sure that I'm not alone when I say that it's been a huge hit for years that, you probably grew up with it. This promo that they're having is just a good way to remind you to CHOOSE FRESH especially this summer. It's pretty hot in here and the pandemic has kept us in cramped, tight spaces, we need something that can cool us down, to feel like we're on a vacation even with a simple thing as a piece of Mentos. It's also meant to be shared and honestly, I'm going to give away some of these to frontliners here in my neighborhood so that they'll have something to feel happy about, even for just a few minutes. I want people to feel they're appreciated at times when they feel like the world's about to fall apart especially in this part of the globe.

 

 

Up for grabs in the promo are choices between Potato Corner or Chatime Vouchers (for week 1), Prepaid Load of Pocket Wifi (week 2), iTunes or Netflix Vouchers (for week 3) and an 8th Gen iPad or Smart TV (on week 4). Now if you actually win the Grand Prize, your choices would be a chilly vacation in Baguio City's The Manor Hotel or Batangas' dreamy Acuaverde Beach Resort. Think of it, you'll get away and spend chilly nights with a cup of coffee in hand and a fireplace, or spend the whole day frolicking in the sand and swimming in the crystal clear waters off the coast. See what I said about being the boss?

To join the actual raffle, you need to buy any of these Mentos rolls then keep the receipt as that would be the convenient proof of purchase that you need to also include in the raffle. Go to their website MentosPromo.ph and fill up the form, submit the required information and you're on your way to win the prizes I mentioned above. 

So now, you know exactly what to get when you're by the counter of 7-11 or groceries and stores nationwide. The receipt is important so make sure you do keep it handy.

Meet the New Mi 11 Lite

One of the leading smartphone manufacturers Xiaomi Philippines has launched the newest addition to the Mi 11 family, they call it the Mi 11 Lite. It's young, fresh and hip, designed for young trendsetters in mind and donnes an ultra slim and light design. The actual unit only weighs 159 grams and the form only is around 6.81mm thin. If you compare that with things that have come out recently, this is definitely one of the lightest. The grip on the other hand isn't flimsy and don't be fooled, this is a pretty powerful phone. 

It has a Qualcomm SM7150 Snapdragon 732G processor and is octa core.It comes in 8GB+128GB variant of storage and memory. The triple camera setup comes with a 64 MP f/1.8 wide main camera, an 8 MP wide angle lens (ultrawide) and a 5 MP f/2.4 which can do macro shots for those closeup things you do for food. The battery is also fast charging at 33W so you can do more things in less time, plus it has a  4250 mAh capacity which can last you the whole day.

The front camera is 16 MP, pretty decent to take selfies with. The video capability of this stays on HD range at 1080p 30fps and 720p 120fps, perhaps enough for online content. When I said young earlier, they got the colors very fancy and called it Boba Black, Bubblegum Blue and Peach Pink. The Mi 11 Lite 8GB+128GB variant is only Php 14,990. You can now purchase it via authorized Mi Stores and their partner retailers nationwide. It is also available online at their official stores in Lazada and Shopee. 

Don't tell me I dind't tell you ha!

See IKEA's Life at Home

What does your home look like? What do you think your home needs in order to make it better? How do you live your life at home?

As you know, IKEA is set to open its doors in Pasay City soon. But before that, IKEA wants to know these too so that they would be able to bring modern furniture design that could help Filipinos thrive at home. This helps them understand what we need so they made the effort to talk to several locals who will benefit with IKEA opening at the SM Mall of Asia grounds soon. It's why they had the Life at Home series launched in their official Facebook page recently.

They now know that eating and sleeping is pretty much cookie cutter but there are really stark differences when it comes to culture because we're very sentimental, and always have extended family at home. Your grandma for instance play a role in the lives of everyone in the family, which is not common for other EU or US households and they talked to Filipinos about it. 

Georg Platzer the Store Manager of IKEA Pasay City says "The four dimensions that help us define home are: the people we live with, the things we own, the amount of space we have and the place we live in. Home is a feeling. This fascination helps us to better understand people’s needs, dreams, and challenges, especially for the new markets we enter like the Philippines."

If you want to know more about how they did it, check out the videos here and their website. You would learn a lot how IKEA studies are conducted in the Philippines.

JULIE ANNE SAN JOSE and DAVID LICAUCO Brews Romance in HEARTFUL CAFE

 

It was a fun evening to be with Pop star Julie Anne San Jose and the hunky David Licauco. They're having a new show startingthis Monday called Heartful Cafe and it was supposed to be shown on GMA News TV a couple months back, but they wanted it to be done on prime time now and on the main GMA channel, this is good news no?

Julie says "I am so glad this transitioned to GMA and is going to be shown in prime time. It only means that it would be shown to even more people, and I'm excited for them to see our story."

David says "This character is not so far from who I am in real life, I am a jokester, a simply guy who wants to have fun (a little bit of a player), just a slight difference in the family. But we almost do have the same characteristics."

Julie plays Heart who is a matchmaker in the series. David on the other hand is a little bit of a playboy, a little fresh and good looking so he gets away with trouble if he gets into it. We can't spoil much of the story because it would be better if you watch the show, here's part of our interview with them this evening. I like the other characters  portrayed by Jamir Zabarte, Victor Anastacio, Aira Mariano, Zonia Mejia and they will make this a little sweeter because they have their own pairs in the show.

Make sure you watch GMA Telebabad this Monday! It'll be so good you'll have a cup or more servings of this sow.
